Wow! Someone has WAY too much time on their hands! (Which is not in any
way to defend the Geographic if the photo was faked/doctored or is not
what it is purported to be.) ;-)

Was it really a fake bird on the cover?   I was only able to read the
first
part of the article at the link, but what I did read reminded me
(perhaps very unfairly) of all those "scientific" arguements "proving"
that the Apollo moon walks were faked.

But like I said, I may be being completely unfair, since I didn't read
the
article!!!    Did National Geographic respond to the allegations?
